The maths should be fine, assuming we're right. And assuming there's no other manipulation. Which would probably be a bad assumption given we've been told to expect heavy manipulation. We'll see.

Without the manipulations it's what I initially suggested. Let's see what happens. But I need a shower first.

Linki - that

Honestly, I went (wrongly) with my gut and threw my vote in the other direction of where my bleeding heart wasn't where it could actually count (towards T-bird. Yikes, that was a mouthful). At least for me, it wasn't part of any conspiracy that I was aware of. And trust me, I feel terrible about lynching one of my own RIP again Thunderbird

I'm not sure if I should retaliate and go the other direction and see if Quicksilver WAS the right way to go, but I think I'll wait til tomorrow when my head is clearer to vote. My gut doesn't do a very good job of finding scum so far...

I'm getting pretty suspicious of you, Phoenix.
This is becoming too repetitive to sound genuine. You keep mentioning how your gut was wrong (you do it multiple times in this post) and I remember you doing it in previous posts. I feel you're kind of excusing yourself when it isn't even necessary. To me, it comes across like you have a guilty conscience and know it is a matter time before someone calls you out so you want to defend yourself before people actually do. You also seem to be relying on emotions an awful lot, if it be not wanting to vote someone or reacting to someones death.

If you recall, I was called out on "going on my gut" by Rasputin earlier (he aptly asked what I would go on in response), so I did indeed feel a need to respond, apparently a little too strongly for several people. In the first few days, it would seem emotions are a lot of what can use to go upon when you can't know your comrades (logic is not much of an option at that point). Regardless, at least to me, isn't it usually a hallmark of goodness to actually have a bleeding heart? Baddies are rarely well known for their empathy/sympathy. Ah, well.

Well, that WAS very confusing and exciting and probably told us alot about trust.

I find it interesting that you decided to vote right after I brought up the idea that this was too convenient, and didn't even comment on it.

Well I'm glad I am interesting.

And wow, just noticed the last minute attempt on my life by several people! Ouch.

I just want to say that I am confused as hell. No one was talking in the thread much so I went to do some chores and eat dinner and I come back to having lots of votes and two pages to read. I am lost.

to be honest i'm still not entirely sure what just happened

I am rather confused as well...But apparently talking about my feelings doesn't help my case very much.

lol I leave for a few hours and come back to see mayhem happened.

Exodus: I'm not sure what you are trying to get at?

What are you referring to? My post about you? I thought it was weird how when I brought up the idea that it was too convenient for almost all the voters to be voting for the same candidate, you came in and joined them without even taking my post into consideration.

what the fuck just happened you guys

We will know for sure when we get the lynch results.

The Vision brought up a good point about the baddie powers, and chaos ensued. It was fun. It will take DAYS to anayze it

Deadpool wrote:what the fuck just happened you guys

I don't think any of us really know for sure...

this has been a fun game so far

Everyone questioned Quicksilver’s motives. Some questioned the motives of those who destroyed the great mechanic Forge. Others panicked and targeted others.

Whereas Quicksilver was stealthy and resolute, the mob that overwhelmed him was cumbersome and reluctant.

Avalanche eliminated Quicksilver’s dexterity through seismic manipulation, as Longshot swiped his sword. Deadpool shot him in the head, and then used his own sword to take that head from the body.

The twilight of Muir Island blackened. The grassy shore transformed into rock.

The Mutant Research Centre towered above them now, but it was no longer the realm of genetic research.

This was Asteroid M.

Fabian Cortez greeted the new arrivals.

“Welcome to Asteroid M. Have you seen Magneto? We have been waiting for him.”

There was silence.

“No matter,” said Fabian. “I am in a good mood today, so I will augment the powers of one among you. Elect someone, and it shall be done.”

That is SO fucked up

OMG

I am glad we tried to move votes, and am sorry we did not move more.

Exactly my reaction! This sucks!! At least now those unwilling to move will be a bit more telling, I would think this means one of the candidates for switching has a good chance of being an actual baddie.

Ugh, this result sucks. I will stick with Sunfire and Phoenix as potential baddies, but I think it could also be interesting to look at those who kept their votes on Quicksilver, especially if they were around and had a chance to change when everything went crazy.

Guys, I cannot help but feel that we are bungling this game horribly.

That being said, Sunfire is definitely bad.

I am going to read the lynch before this one, the amount of manipulation in that lynch must have been high, since it was between 2 civvies.

shit... what does this mean? so quicksilver wasn't targeted by magneto afterall? rip QS

RIP Quicksilver :/ I really thought you were bad b/c of your 'second in line' explanation. I'm so sorry. Perhaps if I had gotten back to the computer earlier and understood what everyone was talking about the result would have been different.

linki: unwilling to move? how about those who WEREN'T HERE? How about those who had no clue what you all were talking about once they did come into the thread?

linki again with Avalance: You definitely incorrect. I will show you in time. Just wait and see

all I can say is that I don't remember reading your post before I voted. I must have missed it.

Not sure what I would have done if I had been around for all of the move votes away from quicksilver talk. I need to go back and read more closely what exactly went down.

Happy to!

Banshee wrote:shit... what does this mean? so quicksilver wasn't targeted by magneto afterall? rip QS

Must do. But I guess if he hadn't thought of targeting one of his doomed teammates on an even night before, he probably has now. So that'll be fun.

damn im sorry quicksilver rip bro

i dont really no what2think now........

Shit! So sorry, QS...

I think I'll put myself forward for this augmentation thing. Why not?

I still don't trust these polls. I'm going with the non-participant.

You are not allowed to do that. That option is for non participants.

Damn, RIP QS and I'm sorry I voted for you.

I just tried to read through what all happened at the end of the lynch but it read like total mayhem. Maybe it seemed relatively easy to the people who were here but I don't even understand the predicate about the vote halving, so I need to get that first before trying to figure out what was going on. I would have been happy to move my vote had i been here if it was the right thing to do which most people seem to agree that it was.

Hawkeye voted for Domino? WTF? Domino has one post right?

i'll volunteer, sounds interesting enough

i've never heard of marvel characters with a names like those ones before >_>

uhh hawkeye that dont make no sense as far as im concerned. wont domino b replaced eventually? strange reason to vote for someone......

i think im gonna go with myself on this one cuz i find myself trusting no1 else at this point

mojo where'd ya go buddy were you havin a little extracurricular time with mctaggert haha dont make the professor jealous now hmm lmao but srsly how did the experiment go r u allowed to tell us?

Nobody ever listens to me.

maybe if you gave some explanations.

Geeeez! The thread went totally batshit just now!

RIP Psylocke. That certainly explains why Psylocke used her power last night; I feel kinda dumb for not seeing it before. I still think Scarlett Witch was a weird choice, since she technically saved QS yesterday.

The Vision wrote:It would be between whichever players Magneto chose. Why do you think it would be those two??

Banshee wrote:i think one of the powers magneto had listed in the signup thread was that votes would be split between the players above and below his target on the poll. i thought it was that too, until i reread the roles just now.

Hope that explains, Viz. I was also going by what I saw in the signup thread.

That vote for me aside, it appears it could have been any of the QS voters, the argument here seems pretty far-fetched.

Yeah. There's no 'I think Quicksilver voters are probably bad and here's why Hawkeye is most likely...'. It's pretty much a throwaway vote really, he admits there's reason to wonder about QS and then says baddies are using 'the situation' to their advantage but doesn't elaborate and then throws out what is essentially a random vote with no specific reason. I remember finding it a bit odd at the time that several people seemed to be slinging mud at Quicksilver voters without going into any great detail, as if they were trying to put people off voting for him or something.

I agree with this, I had not noticed it. The vote for Hawkeye is weird to me because it happened without reason.

Avalanche wrote:Guys, I cannot help but feel that we are bungling this game horribly.

Thanks for posting that, Exodus. I had forgotten about it, and actually overlooked it in my reread somehow. I'll be strongly considering a Sunfire vote tomorrow.

Linki: Shaw, Sunfire is right. If you would use more words so we could follow your train of thought, it would go a long way ot making us listen.

RIP Quicksilver.

I don't want to say "I told you so.", but I fucking told you so.

That sure looked like a cluster fuck at the end, wth!? I only read through it quickly but a few things I saw made me have some 2nd thoughts about players I was otherwise trusting.... I'll have to read over again before I make any definitive statements though.

I had to thank the missus

It went well thanks for asking. I shed my old power and got a new one which I like much better.

If anyone who voted for me last night is volunteering tonight I'll vote for one of them (as long as I'm feeling ok about you) I think this is a benefit to the civvies (as long as a civvie receives the prize anyway).

I agree, it seems clear someone trustworthy should get this. I would love to get it, but probably won't vote myself unless the votes dictate it somehow.
